Will you please have the ignition coil and ballast removed from chassis 19-CIV and handed to us, as GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} wishes us to carry out a test with these to ascertain the cause of the mysterious fault which developed in France. We can supply another coil and ballast for this car in replacement.
